Teen Today is reporting that Gwyneth Paltrow is a total germophobe. Of course, her publicist denies the claim of “germophobe,” but has admitted that Paltrow does not allow people to wear their shoes in her house, and forces people to wash their hands with anti-bacterial soap before touching her daughter Apple.

A close friend of Gwyneth said: “She’s always been pretty clean-obsessed, but recently it’s reached a whole new level.”

It has also been revealed, the Oscar-winning beauty is so obsessed with microscopic nasties she never uses public toilets, takes her own brush to the hairdressers and scrubs the bathrooms at hotels where she is staying before washing, according to America’s Star magazine.

In other Gwyneth news, Ireland Online has it that Paltrow’s husband, and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin has hinted that recent rumours that Gwyneth Paltrow is pregnant are indeed true. Last month, Blythe Danner, Paltrow’s mother, accidentally let it slip when she said “Yes, I am (going to be a grandmother again.) Well, I think so. Oh, well I have not checked lately.” To which Martin responded “I can’t tell you about Gwyneth, you know that, she’d kill me.”
